Hi Chris,
I'm sorry, but it is IDL 8.0 which has a problem. Version { x86 Win32
Windows Microsoft Windows 8.0 Jun 17 2010 32 64}. Here is a
demonstration. It is a little bit complicated, because one can't
create the necessary filenames with IDL 8.0.
1. Create a file with the name test?.txt by use of the Windows
Explorer. The 5th character has to be a "Latin Capital Letter A With
Ring Above". It can be created with keystroke ALT+0197. It is replaced
by a ? in this posting, because it probably would not be transmitted
correctly.
2. Create a 2nd file with the name test??.txt. The 5th character is a
"Latin Capital Letter A With Tilde", keystroke ALT+0195. The 6th
character is a "Horizontal Ellipsis", keystroke ALT+0133.
3. Go to the IDL Workbench and "open" the 2nd file with
file=dialog_pickfile()
4. Delete the 2nd file with: file_delete,file
The first file is deleted instead of the second one. Without any error
message.
